[SOLVED] Is Gigabyte P650B 80+ Bronze PSU a safe unit?

[Gtlogic10]

Hey All,

I found a good deal for a Gigabyte P650B 80+ Bronze from an online forum group. I have searched this PSU from Gigabyte and found that this has been around for more than 3 years.

The models with issues are GP-P850GM and GP-P750GM more recently. So, I guess it's fine for the above mentioned one. Kindly provide your feedback.

Thanks & regards

It's a lower budget model. If you're running any of the RTX series GPU's I would not recommend it.

One of the indicators of a quality psu is the warranty.
Shop for a unit with a 5yr and up warranty.
When you find something you like read the reviews.

Not particularly. This was a low-quality budget PSU long before the more noted recent failures. The Gigabyte Aorus-branded ones are the only Gigabyte PSUs worth even considering if you have a quality GPU.

The main reason the others got such recent attention is that they were PSUs that were targeted at the enthusiast class. PSUs like the 650B were always kinda entry-level PSUs for light machines, something which most companies have.
